Pray with me tonight.

Let us pray to our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Spotless Lamb of G-d.


Lord, we know that we can come to You in our times of trial. Our times of tribulation. When we are desperate and sad; when all hope seems lost. We can come to You in times of great joy, and You rejoice with us.

We know that You always Will what is best for us, even if at the time we do not agree. We must take what is happening in faith, and believe that You will guide us to the end. We must on occasion step out of the way and let You weave a path in front of us into this tapestry of life we are cursed to endure, even as You lessen our load and light our way.

We know that You are almighty, merciful, and kind. You are with us at all hours, at all times, no matter how good or how bad. You hear us and consider our wishes as we leave our requests at the foot of Your throne, even though it may not be the best for us.

To think that such a Mighty G-d as Yourself, would desire our love and faith is beyond our comprehension. We were mere stains on the carpet of history, but through You we are lifted up unto eternal life as we inherit Your Kingdom.

Your love for us is everlasting and all-encompassing. You proved this love for us by sacrificing Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Spotless Lamb of G-d, the Son of the Almighty, on the Cross, that through his death, burial and resurrection, we might be cleansed- made righteous in Your eyes; saved through His blood.


Lord, we come to You with heavy hearts, full of a sad happiness of sorts. We know that the hour soon approaches, yet we know not when. We know that this is the last of the trilogy, and it pains us to consider it will end. Further, it pains us to consider what could be next.

Lord, it will be over soon. We know it. Oh, but our hearts, our hearts, they are saddened by the mere thought of it. To consider the end is...almost too much to bear.

Yes, unlike the Matrix Trilogy, we do not wish for the Prime Trilogy to end. It's frightening, and it seems unnatural. Please bless our hearts, and keep them, and help us to accept that this is the last installment of the Prime Trilogy.

Oh, Lord, please bless those at Retro Studios, and others working on this game, giving their time and energy. Please guide them in their efforts, and if it is Your will, Lord, please may they not mess up too badly.

And Lord, if they have included voice acting, may Samus' VA be good, well paid, and even then, may her parts be few. May the game be expansive and immersive, and please may it retain the atmosphere of aloneness, even in the midst of a galactic war of sorts.

Lord, may we be able to pilot her Gunship, and may the controls and physics work well. Please may the game release before my birthday, if it is within Your Will. May the graphics be at the peak of the Wii's capabilities, and the controls the best they can possibly be. May the Wiimote be responsive with none of the sad cursor lag we see in some games' physics.

Lastly, Lord, we thank You for hearing our wishes. We thank You for even considering them. Please, according to Your will, bless the finishing of this game. May the process be quick and streamlined, so that they may focus their concerted efforts on finding faults and perfecting them. Please keep our hearts and help us to cope.


Thank you.

Goodnight.
